    Ok, word of warning, I'm dead tired at this moment and what I type may not make sense, but I'm determined to introduce myself.

    I identify as lesbian, genderqueer, and occasionally as an apple. Also, I'm super closeted. I don't know why. I just can't manage to own up to myself. I've always felt like I needed to fit in, maybe to make up for all the things I don't fit into. I've spent a lot of time trying to squash parts of me that are unique and interesting. I wanted to fit in with the wrong people.

    Now, I'm trying to find people that I don't need to try to fit in with. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say. I'll just finish up with this: It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances and I hope I get to be friends with some of you, have lots of fun, and maybe eat cookies. Actually, the cookies aren't optional. There will be cookies.

    Hi liavfaer you made sense in your introduction, I know what you mean by fitting in and portraying a fake you. If you have any questions just shout :slight_smile: hope you enjoy EC

    Hi... That's a brilliant introduction, and to be honest, I can relate to you completely in what you say. I'm super closeted too. I can own up to myself who I am now, but it hasn't been long that I've been able to.
    I'm a person that you don't need to try to fit in with, and I'm glad to be your friend, and share thoughts and views with you. Am going to send you a friend request.
    You will find plenty of brilliant people here. Everyone is so kind, caring, and re-assuring.
    Above everything else, have faith in yourself, love yourself for who you are, and enjoy being here. (*hug*)

    Hello & welcome, Lia. What is an apple? Besides a fruit :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I know that can describe a woman's shape. I'm more of a pear myself. What type of cookies are being offered? My husband makes really yummy chocolate chip ones. Especially when he also adds peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips. So decadent. Hope you enjoy your time here & make many new friends.
